4.0 out of 5 stars
sound advice, great examples,
This review is from: The Elements of Intranet Style (Paperback)
For non-tech specialists, this little book is an appropriate follower to Strank and White. It certainly helped our team stop arguing about technology and focus on what our site was supposed to do, plus it really helped us decide on how it should look and how people could move around to find what they wanted to find and that sort of thing. The Predictible Problems section and the User Forward ideas saved me at least a couple of sleepless nites. Thanks for making the book available. Only the fact that I wanted still more data from the writers stopped me from giving the 5 stars that the book probably deserves.

A hard to please engineer,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Elements of Intranet Style (Paperback)
Excellent! Finally a useful (and enjoyable) text on intranet style that is clear and packed with required information on making a killer intranet from scratch. In my field, I deal with professionals that have all sorts of cyber experience, and using The Elements of Intranet Style I can speak intranet to the expert as well as the novice. Big pluses include the "Must know's and Must no's" section that warns of copyright pitfalls and security issues headaches. Overall this book is an excellent, low cost bible dedicated to the rapidly growing intranet. A must!

A great guide reference guide, worthy of multiple readings,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Elements of Intranet Style (Paperback)
Thanks to this book, I finally appreciate some of the differences between the Internet and an intranet in terms of corporate communications policies, screen design, infrastructure, project management and security requirements. As a layman, the technical glossary has been helpful to me in my current job and projects and I refer to it several times a week. Good insight on the people side (politics, etc.) of corporate intranet projects. My thanks to the authors.
